Large deviations for estimators of unknown probabilities, with applications in risk theory

Author

Abstract

We present large deviation results for estimators of unknown probabilities which satisfy a suitable exponential decay condition. These results provide some extensions of the large deviation estimates given in Macci and Petrella (2006). Furthermore we propose a classical approach which is different from the one presented in Ganesh et al. (1998) and we cannot say that the Bayesian approach is more conservative as in that paper.
